Beautifully Designed Cajon with Piezo Pickup
The Artisan Edition Pickup Cajon from Meinl represents a next-level take on an instrument that has gained a ton of popularity among percussionists for its unique tone and playability. The Artisan features a beautiful 9-ply, 12-millimeter-thick Baltic birch body that delivers full punchy tone that fills a room! An ergonomically rounded frontplate provides a nice, comfortable convex surface for your hands. When you are ready to plug in, a piezo pickup with tone and volume control delivers awesome amplified tone. And a 1/4-inch cable port lets you send your signal through any amp or PA system.

Great snare tones and ergonomic design
The Pickup Cajon also features two groupings of four pre-tuned metal micro-coiled cajon strings that span the inside of the playing surface and produce stellar, crisp snare tone. Additional player-friendly features include rounded corners and thumb notches for optimal playing comfort and great sound with every strike. Soft rubber feet on the bottom of this cajon keep it from slipping during play — a feature we really appreciate here at Sweetwater.
Link up other Meinl instruments
This cajon is equipped with a link input intended for use with other Meinl instruments with pickups. The link signal gets routed through the cajon's controls, enabling extra sound shaping before both signals get sent to a single amplifier. Using the link input, this cajon can eliminate the need for extra amplifiers, decrease a group's stage footprint, and lend a much cleaner visual look to a stage setup. Note: Meinl's link system is not compatible with all instruments or sources. Be sure to call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for more information and a complete list of compatible devices.
